Best Businesses in New York, NY

I called Rich on a Tuesday afternoon for a leaking pipe in my basement.  Rich and his apprentice, Reed, came out on Wednesday morning bright and early and diagnosed and fixed the problem in under an hour, all for a very reasonable price.  I will continue to use Hoffman plumbing for any future plumbing needs.

Bo came yesterday to fix a leak under my kitchen sink. He was very thorough in determining where the leak was coming from and even found a small secondary leak coming from the faucet. He took it upon himself to contact Koehler on my behalf and has ordered a whole new replacement faucet which is covered under their warranty saving me lot of hassle. He also tied up the faucet hose so it doesn't get in the way of my new glide out shelves!
Only negative is that I had to wait more than a week for the apt but I am happy I waited!

I called Richard for a small plumbing job that I expected would take less than an hour. He asked a couple of questions and was happy to give me a quote over the phone. Rather than the exorbitant fee I'd feared having worked with other local plumbers, he gave me a fair price.
Richard arrived on time, and despite complications that caused the job to take two hours, he honored his original quote.
Dealing with Richard was easy and hassle free, and he'll be my first call next time I need a job doing.

We had an old kitchen faucet that was leaking and rusted in place. James came within a day, methodically cut it out to avoid scratching our countertops, and installed a new one. He was amazing to work with and explained everything he was doing. I highly recommend.

This was my first time using Flo-rite and will definitely be my go to for all plumbing issues. I had an ongoing leak for months now with no resolve. Matt, the owner responded to my inquiry right away and came out the next day to assess and provide a quote. He was able to diagnose the issue and completed the job in a timely manner (we needed multiple pipes to be replaced). Michelle kept me up to date regarding ETA via text message, which was great. I have had issues with other companies in the past who will schedule a time and then show up hours later. Flo-rite is professional, timely and organized. Highly recommended for all your plumbing needs.

If it wasn't for Citywide I would of been ripped off by two other cesspool companies saying I needed to replace my tank.  Citywide came in and saved the day.  The one tank was the Ocer flow and I one serviced the main tank in who know how long.  Past owner put a driveway over it!  Citywide came in and found it and gave me access 10 years ago and all has been good since!

When i had my previous water heater, i can turn on the multiple faucets at the same time with hot water..  but it ran out of service due to leak.   Last year,   with the new one that contractor installed, I can only use 1 faucet on for hot water.  I thought it was the new water heater issue. So i called the heater company, and they sent woodhaven plumbing to my home to check.  

Keith was very helpful, and did the flush test, and it turned out the heater is fine.. he mentioned might be some issue with my home's plumbing system..   He did not charge me anything, because he mentioned my heater is under warranty..  

this is definitely a very trusted plumber, I guess the 80 plus year reputation isn't fake.  I am definitely would refer it to all my friends.

JOE AVERSA BEST PLUMBER IN TOWN....

Honest, fair, best pricing around.
Only guy I would trust in my home!

Stanley is the greatest.  We use him for regular plumbing and heating maintenance on our house.  Always a good experience.

I wish he would expand into Electrical work, Lawn Care, Auto Repair, Income Tax Returns, open a restaurant, barber shop, etc.  He's got such a sweet personality and is so competent I wish I had more than just plumbing/heating work to give him.

Kellam and his team are extraordinary. Kellam is the most communicative, honest, clear, and straight forward handyman I have used in 15 years as a home owner. His integrity and work ethic are unparalleled. He is skilled. But most importantly, he is trustworthy.

Thanks Yelpers!  Thanks Johnny!  Called for a slow drain on a Saturday, Johnny said he would be here in a half hour (he does not charge extra for Saturdays.)  He showed up in 25 minutes and spent about 10 minutes snaking on the drain. He also gave me plumbing maintenance tips for the whole apartment and taught me a little bit about my pipes. My drain works better than it did when it was first installed! All for a reasonable rate too!

I had a few plumbing issues, Bob and team were fantastic. They came on time, they were very professional, and best of all they have reasonable rates with quality work. They are local to great neck, highly recommend for any plumbing issues. Ben Dinkin would now always be my go to plumber, nothing but good things to say about these folks.

Letter to Joseph Kennan( Bob's Lawyer)
In August I contacted Bob McManus, as he was an approved plumber on my cooperative's list. As soon as he answered the phone I greeted him, introduced myself and asked him if he works on cesspools in Breezy Pont. He said he did. I explained to him that I had a cesspool in the front of my house that was not able to handle all the plumbing that was going into it and I wanted my shower and sink water from my bathroom rerouted to a cesspool located in the rear of my house. I explain to him that it was full of sand for many years. I explained also that I had a laborer that would come and dig it out. He asked me if the laborer knew anything about cesspools and I told him no. He said just have him take out the sand that was inside the cesspool and do not have him dig out around the cesspool that he would take care of that part.  We discussed in detail what needed to be done as far as refurbishing (for lack of a better term) the cesspool.   He explained the outside of the entre cesspool would be dug out and lined with a material  that allows water to drain yet won't allow sand to penetrate through and also that gravel would be placed all around the outside.  I knew all about this and was happy to hear Bob was experienced and was able to assure me this would be done properly.  He also explained how everything would be sealed up nice and tight regarding the hole that was being made in my back wall in the basement.

On August 18 I had the laborer come and dig out the cesspool. Bob was actually in the area and came by and looked at the man that was digging out the cesspool while he was standing in the cesspool. He told him in front of me to take out about another foot or so which he did until he hit water. I texted Bob told him it was done and explained he hit water.

Bob's men were supposed to come here two days later on August 20 at 8 AM. At 8:24 AM I texted Bob because no one showed up. He said they were coming, which they did at about 9:15 that morning. They proceeded to do the plumbing work with rerouting the piping from my sink and shower to the back of my basement. They had to make a hole in the foundation wall to bring the pipe  through to the cesspool which they did.

I noticed at 1:45 that they never started digging around the cesspool and there was no delivery of gravel. When I asked the guys when they were going to start doing that, neither of them had any idea what I was talking about. I texted Bob immediately.  In the text I said to him, your men don't know anything about digging around the cesspool or the gravel and you said you were going to put around the cesspool.   His reply was, yes you're right we will need another day. Shortly after Bob came with a few bags of gravel about 5, 40 pound bags of gravel. One bag of gravel is about the size of a shoebox there would be much more gravel needed to surround the entire cesspool. He also was using the wrong gravel a very small pebble like gravel that is never used. He had his man dig a couple of holes in random spots and dump a bag in each hole. It does not make sense to dump gravel at the top area of a cesspool as you want it to drain starting from the bottom up. He insisted that it would be fine he followed that by saying let me know if it doesn't drain but you should be fine.

Bob also had told me the holes that the pipes were going through would be closed up and sealed properly. That was never done. I had to contact him again about sealing the holes. He had someone come back that following Monday to do that. He actually had to use spray foam that I had already in my house to seal it up temporarily until he brought the metal piece to put around the pipe against the wall.

Later on I found a huge hole in the block of the cesspool that my fist was able to fit through.(probably hole that was used for line years ago) That hole would allow sand to spill in and continually enter the cesspool. Once again he had to send one of his men back to place a piece of tin over that hole and bang it in so the sand would stop pouring into the cesspool. Later I wound up getting some bags of gravel to dump around that hole  because it wasn't covering the hole completely still allowing sand to seep in.

When we agreed that Bob would do this job he was going to do it exactly like he said and he only completed half of the work. I paid him $2000 to basically reroute my water and run a PVC pipe. His men worked from 9:30 to 3:00 with an hour lunch break  where I barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs for them.  

I actually had to pump a few days ago because the water was approaching the pipeline. If it did,  then I would have water backing up into my sink and shower. BOB owes me $1000. since he only did half the work.  Now he and his lawyer deny he was ever doing work to my cesspool.  OUTRIGHT LIE!

Feels like they're practicing out and out highway robbery.  A simple leaking tub faucet.  Shower body cartridge needs to be re-replaced as it was replaced end of last year but is obviously faulty.  $475 for that job around 6 months ago, and that plumber wouldn't come back as a warranty - its the cartridge, not our work, we'll charge you all over again as if we're walking in for the first time.  So I chose to go elsewhere and start fresh.
But THESE guys... after a $150 diagnostic fee they wanted close to $800 for the exact same job!!!  
Is there a plumber out there who isn't out to fleece everyone??!
I'm going to order the cartridge and install it myself... after seeing it taken apart and put back together so many times in the past 6 months I've become a pro.
I do NOT recommend this company.  Feels to me like they hook you with the $150 look-see and then stab you with the final fee.  Almost double what the previous plumber charged and that plumber is known for being way over priced as it is.
I may take a plumbing course and cut out the middle man lol.

Peter was very thorough and explained that my problem wasn't as complex and big as I initially thought. He showed up exactly at the appointed time.

I am surprised seeing some negative reviews here. We just had our boiler and water heater, replaced by village plumbing, and couldn't be happier with their service. Tim, the owner, is very responsive and concerned about making his customers happy. His workers were very attentive and responsive as well. We have been doing business with them for over 15 years and never was disappointed. Through the years, they always responded very quickly to emergency situations, which I am very grateful for.
